The STX ExecPipe library provides a convenient C++ interface to execute child programs connected via pipes. It is a front-end to the system calls fork(), pipe(), select(), and execv() and hides all the complexity of these low-level functions. It allows a program to build a sequence of connected children programs with the input and output of the pipe sequence redirected to a file, string, or file descriptor. The library also allows custom asynchronous data processing classes to be inserted into the pipe or placed at the source or sink of the sequence.

CoolDown is a puzzle game inspired by the old game PipeMania, although it changed a lot during development. Your task is to cool down the ball coming from the start field. It has 100 levels, increasing difficulty, pipes in 4 colors, special tiles, and multiple balls. It is available for Caanoo and WIZ, and can be compiled for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

Cock provides a digital version of a petcock. A petcock is a valve or faucet used to drain pressure, as from a boiler. Cock drains I/O pressure from the kernel. Without parameters, the output rate automatically adjusts; cock defers output when necessary
in order to mitigate I/O spikes. Otherwise, a numeric parameter specifies megabytes per second.

This tool kit is an attempt to compile a set of tools to solve problems for La Quadrature du Net. Those tools are designed to work with Unix shell pipes. They follow the Unix philosophy and aim to stay simple.
